[Kory] has been experimenting with genetic algorithms. Normally we’d expect his experiments to deal with tuning the variables in a control system or something, but he’s doing something much cooler.

Given the circuit topology in Figure 1, find the resistor and NTC thermistor values that generate the Voltage vs. Temperature curve shown in Figure 2. (Note: Only standard values may be used.) While ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Some Earth-orbiting satellites will be able to keep in touch longer with controllers on the planet’s surface thanks to computer programs that mimic Darwin’s evolutionary model ...

Immigration is generally considered an option in genetic algorithms, but I have found immigration to be extremely useful in almost all situations where I use evolutionary optimization. The idea of ...

Lookup tables and Taylor series are two common methods for interpolating between experimentally gathered data or for generating a known function such as a sine wave. This article proposes a third ...
